The World's 50 Best Bars announces that its 'Bid for Recovery' Auction will

debut on 3 July, offering bar, restaurant and travel enthusiasts the

opportunity to bid for out-of-this-world experiences with top bartenders and

chefs. More than 130 incredible lots have been donated by venues on recent

World's 50 Best lists, plus brand partners, to create the world's biggest

gastronomic auction.

Bidders will have the opportunity to select from an array of extraordinary

experiences across the globe. Bars' highlights include:

- Three nights' bar-hopping in New York with Dante, The World's Best Bar,

  staying in a design hotel  

- Courtside seats at the Women's Final in the French Open 2021 tennis, with

  two nights in Paris at George V hotel, with Perrier

- One barrel of Michter's 10-Year Whiskey yielding 200 bottles, which has

  never been put up for sale or auction

- A Time Capsule cocktail to define your life from top bartender Ryan

  Chetiyawardana

- Three nights in a suite at Four Seasons Seoul and a bar shift at Charles H,

  South Korea

- Plus rare spirits, cocktail and cooking classes, wine region tours, sailing

  trips, tastings and bespoke parties

The auction will be conducted online at 50BestForRecovery.com. Potential

bidders can view the full selection of lots from 29 June, with the auction

running from 3-12 July.

The funds raised will go towards providing financial relief for bars worldwide

as they emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic as part of the 50 Best for Recovery

programme, in partnership with founding donor Perrier. Independent restaurants

and bars across the world can apply for a direct grant in July. Additional

donations will be made to non-profit-organisations including: Singapore

Cocktail Bar Association; Lee Initiative's Restaurant Reboot Relief Program and

Black Urban Growers (US); Nosso Prato (Brazil); Feed the Needy (India) and the

worldwide Social Gastronomy Movement.

50 Best is committed to using its platform to help fight for equality in the

hospitality sector. The Black community has been hit disproportionately hard by

coronavirus; this fact will continue to help shape the distribution of funds in

the 50 Best for Recovery campaign.
